FLEX SHAFT

Features

• For rotating mechanisms, this product is pliable, yet efficiently transmits torque through the shaft by adhesively coiling incrementally thicker steel or piano wire rods around a central rod in alternating directions (see figure). Hollow type is also available. Does not uncoil from backlash when machine is turned off. Production will be scheduled after receiving order.

Applications

• Surgical drills and equipment that requires flexible connections.

Materials

• Piano wire, Hard Steel wire, SUS304

Minimum bending radius in use

• Min. bending R ≤ 20 x Outer Diameter (approx.)
